A year ago, we launched a prayer app. It wasn't good enough. So we scrapped it and built something entirely new. SoapBox Prayer is born from real conversations with pastors and church members who told us what they needed. Share prayer requests publicly or anonymously. Join Prayer Circles with your small group. Track answered prayers. Support each other with a tap. Pastors get admin tools to assign, prioritize, and follow up on prayer needs across their congregation.

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Alan. About a year ago, I launched a prayer app. It didn't deliver. The UX was clunky, key features were missing, and it didn't serve churches the way they needed. I could have patched it. Instead, we scrapped it entirely and started from zero. We spent months talking to pastors, small group leaders, and church members. We listened. And we built a completely new product: SoapBox Prayer. This isn't a version 2 — the changes were so fundamental that it's a new app. New name, new architecture, new experience. Here's what makes it different: - Privacy levels so you control who sees what (not everything needs to be public) - Prayer Circles for small groups with their own dedicated space - Pastoral tools so church staff can actually follow up on prayer needs - Anonymous mode for when you need support but aren't ready to share your name We built the app we wish we'd built the first time. Would love your feedback — what would make it even more useful for your community?

Three days after launching here, we shipped our biggest update yet:

🎧 Audio Bible — Listen anywhere. 12 voices (5 free iOS + 7 premium ElevenLabs), CarPlay, lock-screen controls, adjustable speed.

🎧 Read + Listen together — Verse highlights in real-time as it's read aloud. Tap any verse to Listen, Journal, Copy, Share, Pray, or Ask ORA.

🎧 5 audio-first reading plans — Morning Listen, Psalms for Commutes, Bedtime Gospels, Wisdom Walk, NT Listen-Through.

🔍 Discover tab for people exploring faith privately — no public profile, no pressure.

🌱 Faith Journey progression — 5 stages that adapt to your engagement, not a timer.

⚡ 10× faster loading — Cold start went from ~10s to ~1-2s.

🙏 Bug fixes — Prayer duplication, ORA stuck-thinking, and more.

This is the version I wish we had launched with on Monday. Huge thanks to everyone who upvoted and sent feedback — every item on this list came from a user message.
